Effective 01/01/2025

 

Beginning in January 2025, the Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations requires Pennsylvania business owners to file an annual report for most domestic and foreign filing associations. Failure to file the annual report will result in the administrative dissolution, termination, or cancellation of an entity’s business registration. Domestic entities that have been administratively dissolved may be reinstated at any time; however, foreign entities that have been administratively dissolved must re-register with no retroactive effect.

Domestic and foreign entities that must file are:

  • Business Corporations
  • Nonprofit Corporations
  • Limited Liability Companies
  • Limited Partnerships
  • Limited Liability General Partnerships
  • Professional Associations
  • Business Trusts

 

The state filing fee is $7.00. There is no fee for nonprofit entities.

 

The filing window is based on the entity type:

Corporations: January 1 – June 30
Limited Liability Companies: January 1 – September 30
All Others: January 1 – December 31
